Why it matters

  • Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are stressful and traumatic events that occur during childhood that can have lasting effects into adulthood.

  • It’s estimated that over 60% of adults in our community have experienced at least one Adverse Childhood Experience.

  • Research shows that adults who reported ACEs are linked to higher risks of unhealthy behaviors, mental health disorders, and chronic health conditions.

  • By providing therapy access, we’re not only helping individuals, but we’re fostering healthier families and communities as those individuals begin to heal and grow.

List titled 'Example adverse childhood experiences' includes child maltreatment, household member with mental illness, substance abuse, incarceration, death of a parent, and domestic violence.
